Pulley Seated Shoulder Press Instructions

  3. Sit upright with your feet flat on the floor and your back pressed firmly against the seat.
  4. Exhale and push the handles upward until your arms are fully extended, but not locked.
  5. Inhale and slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.

Pulley Seated Shoulder Press Tips

  1. Start with a light weight to get comfortable with the movement and focus on engaging your shoulder muscles.
  2. Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and prevent injury.
  3. As you press the handles up, squeeze your shoulder blades together to activate your shoulder muscles even more.
  4. Avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement to keep tension on your shoulders and prevent strain.
  5. Control the weight on the way down, resisting the pull of the pulley to work your shoulders eccentrically.
  6. Don’t rush through the exercise; take your time to ensure proper form and maximize shoulder engagement.
  7. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, exhaling as you press the handles up and inhaling as you lower them down.
